Parents will receive a confirmation email after registration is complete. Parents will also receive a detailed, informational email regarding specifics of the program one week before the start of registered programs.

Refunds and cancellations

Refunds must be requested two weeks before the start of the requested camp. Twenty percent of the total fee is non-refundable. No refund will be given if a camper is dismissed due to disciplinary action. Norfolk Collegiate Summer Programs reserve the right to cancel any camp due to low enrollment. Participates will be notified of cancelled camps at least 7 days before the start of the camp. Fees for canceled camps will be refunded or may be applied to another camp.

Extended Day Program

Morning and Afternoon Care is a place for your child to get pumped up in the morning for the day’s activities, and to wind down after a full day of fun and excitement. Each camper will be escorted by staff members to their designated camp five minutes before it begins. An afternoon snack will be provided to campers enrolled in Afternoon Care. The hours of extended day care are 7-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m., and the fee is $30 per week for morning care and $50 per week for afternoon care. This fee will not be prorated. In case of an emergency, there is a one-time drop-in rate of $14 per day for the morning or afternoon session. There will not be extended care services provided for camps at the Granby Street campus. Please contact Alex Bartlett to make arrangements in the event that your child might need transportation provided to the Lower School.

Field trips

Some camps include field trips in the local area. Transportation for these trips is provided by school buses with certified drivers. Norfolk Collegiate’s Summer Program teachers accompany campers on all field trips. Your registration form includes blanket field trip permission; however, you will be notified of specific field trips before they occur.

Please provide detailed information for your child in the medical and emergency contact section of the application. If your child does not attend Norfolk Collegiate, we must have a copy on file of his/her Virginia Health Form, which includes an immunization record and recent physical.
